A control system for a gas turbine engine including a power turbine is disclosed. The control system may also include an outer loop control module to determine a torque request. The outer loop control module may include a feedback control component operative to provide regulation of the power turbine, a feed-forward component operative to anticipate a load on the power turbine, and a hybrid control component operative to prevent output of a torque request that cannot currently be delivered by the power turbine. The control system may also include an inner loop control module to receive the torque request from the outer loop control module, to determine fuel flow and inlet guide vane schedules based at least in part on the received torque request, and to send signals to control a gas generator of the gas turbine engine according to the determined fuel flow and inlet guide vane schedules.
